The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

We simply cannot afford the immigrants that are already here let alone a steady torrent of incoming. We see that in big cities where huge $$ are being taken from programs to assist inner city poor, etc. The funds are instead being used to house, provide medical attention, or incarceration. Crime is already a big problem, now exacerbated by de-funding the police to help pay for the sustenance of a rapidly expanding immigrant community.

Mississippi was a poor state to begin with, then layer in another $104M,

osa.ms.gov - Auditors office releases report cost illegal immigration taxpayers

Auditor's Office Releases Report on the Cost of Illegal Immigration to Taxpayers

The report shows spending on education, healthcare, and public safety drives this cost. Mississippi taxpayers annually pay around:

$25 million to educate illegal immigrants in K-12 public schools
$77 million to provide healthcare to illegal immigrants and their children
$1.7 million to incarcerate illegal immigrants

The full report titled “How Illegal Immigration Hurts Taxpayers” can be found on the “Reports” tab on the Auditor’s website and searching “immigration.”
